Completely correct, I was pointing out our problem which is:

You can't make a high stake race completely safe and you can't expect that
the top competitors will just stop to let their horses rest.  I do feel that
the course designers can take this into account by having an early vet check
if possible, and make sure that the early vet checks are on the longish
side. (without necessarily increasing total hold time)

Will this stop all metabolic problem? NO  Will it slow down the race? NO
Will it help some horses? YES

Do riders have ultimate responsibility? YES  Should riders be encouraged to
stop and rest as their mounts require? YES

Is the problem complex and solutions hard and not obvious? YES
